‘Outer Banks’ Star Chase Stokes To Make Directorial Debut On ‘I Told The Sunset About You’ For Monarch Media

deadline.com:

EXCLUSIVE: Outer Banks breakout Chase Stokes is stepping behind the camera for his feature directorial debut with the coming-of-age drama I Told the Sunset About You.

The project is based on an original concept by Stokes with Monarch Media’s Steve Barnett, Alan Powell and Vicky Patel producing the film through their company Monarch Media.

The film is described as a contemporary Bonnie and Clyde romantic thriller about a restless local waitress who is stuck in a monotonous routine until she meets Jameson, a quiet drifter passing through on his way to the Pacific coast.

Their unlikely connection sparks a spontaneous journey westward, leading to unexpected gambles that transform their lives forever. “I’m very excited that the Monarch team has given me the opportunity to extend my love for filmmaking beyond being in front of the camera,” said Stokes. “It’s always been a goal to get in the director’s chair and tell stories from that perspective, and I’m excited to continue this partnership with Steve, Alan and Vicky in doing so.
